GRAND RAPIDS - Romena Chebet Murgor was scanning the floor of The Intersection searching for a friend’s lost ID card when she stepped on something.

Beneath her foot was a sparkling gold bracelet. The Egyptian pharaoh mask charm dangling from it matched the iconography of the rapper Tyga, who performed a nearly sold-out show at the nightclub that evening, March 14. He had jumped into the crowd to commiserate with fans, and lost it in the melee.

Next she knew, Tyga’s manager called her on the phone. The rapper didn’t want to come back to G.R. – he wanted to foot the bill for Romena and a friend to fly to Indianapolis to see his show there, in exchange for returning his bracelet.

A chance to hang out with an artist she admired? It was an offer she couldn’t refuse.

Romena and her friend Daisy Medina flew out Saturday morning and came back Sunday. They spent time with Tyga on his tour bus, and went shopping at Target with him. He gave them T-shirts from his fashion line. He bought them breakfast and lunch. He gave them tickets to his show. He put them up in the local JW Marriott hotel.

“He was really nice,” Romena said. “He was just so thankful. He thanked me so many times.”

The bracelet had sentimental value for Tyga, 22, whose real name is Michael Ray Nguyen-Stevenson.

“He said somebody special in his life gave him that bracelet after he made his first album,” Romena said. “His manager told me Tyga cried after he heard I found it.”

Tyga is an up-and-coming hip-hop star from Los Angeles with two albums on his resume. His show at The Intersection was part of a national tour supporting the album “Careless World: Rise of the Last King,” which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard albums chart in February, and spawned the hit singles “Rack City” and “Faded.”

Although Tyga – an acronym for “Thank You God Always” - has the tough-guy image of most rappers, Romena said behind the scenes, it’s a different story.

“To be honest with you, he’s very normal,” Romena said. “All he wanted to do that day was play volleyball and basketball.”

Romena said her mother was concerned about her teenage daughter flying to Indianapolis to hang out with a rapper, but Tyga’s manager reassured her it was OK. It ended up being an experience Romena will never forget.

“It was like a dream come true,” she said.

Editor’s note: Monday night, Tyga was involved in an altercation after his concert in Omaha, Nebraska, where unknown assailants allegedly fired gunshots at the rapper’s tour bus, Billboard reports. Two people on the bus suffered minor wounds. Tyga was not hurt, but the events prompted him to cancel Tuesday night's show in Denver.
